I’d be happy to connect you with professionals who can get creative with your down payment resources!

🔋 Battery Brief: Rechargeable Batteries

Rechargeable batteries power many of the items we use every day, including cell phones, laptops, tablets, and even lawn equipment. While they’re convenient, they contain lithium and can pose a fire risk if damaged.

⚠️ For safety, never place rechargeable batteries in the trash or recycling.

Instead, bring them to a proper drop-off location like the Recycling Zone:
